I want to begin this section by reminding potential clients that my story is unique just like your story is unique. I hope by sharing a little about myself you will feel motivated to share your story. I promise to hear you and see you without judgement because I know what it feels like to be judged.

About Me: Navigating Life’s Challenges with Compassion and Understanding

Welcome! I'm a licensed therapist based in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I live with my wife and our beloved fur baby. My journey into mental health therapy began later in life, after years of working as a cocktail waitress on the Las Vegas Strip (see my photo below). In my late 30s, with my children grown and starting their own lives, I made the decision to return to school and earn my Masters in Social Work. This experience taught me the power of self-determination—a core strength I bring to my practice every day.

I understand firsthand how challenging life can be. Growing up in a co-dependent and abusive alcoholic household, I faced adversity from a young age. I became a teenage mother of two, balancing the demands of raising children while pursuing my education as an adult. Despite these obstacles, I graduated college with three small children in tow. Later, when same-sex marriage became legal in the United States, I proudly married my wife, marking another chapter in my life’s journey.

My experiences have also shaped my commitment to health and wellness. I've worked hard to recognize and manage unhealthy eating and fitness habits, and I believe in the importance of living a balanced life. My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate your own challenges, whether they relate to family dynamics, personal growth, or health and wellness.
